All Company Directors and employees are International Transport and Customs Industry Specialists, having a total of 100 + years (combined) actual industry experience.

At FRMSTAFF, our goal is not only to provide the highest standard of recruitment and selection services to clients – but it is also to identify additional opportunities for our clients to achieve measurable improvements in areas such as reduced staff turnover and increased employee retention, increased customer satisfaction, and improved sales productivity.

Our Ethics

The freight recruitment industry has traditionally been viewed as a process low on quality and ethics, and high on charges. At FRMSTAFF we have worked hard to change this perception through open and honest dealings within an industry that needs the very best people to ensure its growth and secure its international competitiveness.

As ex-industry executives, we have all been victims of poor recruitment services, such as unsolicited resumes, credentials left unchecked, inappropriate candidates, poaching by agencies, intentional inflation of salaries and excessive recruitment charges. At FRMSTAFF we have deliberately established strict and ethical operating standards that differentiate us from the competition and we will not to waiver from these standards.

Joseph Meli

Director

I am a Director of FRMSTAFF and myfreightcareer. Established in 1998 with a vision to supply professional recruitment and training solutions specifically for the Import and Export, International Trade Logistics, Freight Forwarding (Air and Sea), Road and Rail Transport, Shipping and Aviation industries.

Commencing my career in the International Freight and Logistics industry at the age of 18 I held operational and managerial positions and recognised a need for a specialist training and recruitment provider to the industry.

My involvement with our business is all-encompassing and varied from the day to day running of the business including marketing, sales, compliance, expansion, staff development and most importantly making coffee each morning.

Being part of a company that has helped so many people find their dream job or helping companies find the right staff for their business gives me a great sense of satisfaction, coupled with watching the amazing people who work in my team flourish and grow.

Outside of work family is the thing that gives me the most enjoyment, they keep me grounded and appreciative.

Why I love what I do – when ‘fit’ is obtained (i.e., the right person in the right position) then there is success for everyone!!

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Ultimately, I love to travel and experience other countries and their cultures……. but, like everyone, I need to work in order to have the money to do this!

Karoline Hayduk

Trainer and Assessor / Recruitment Consultant – Melbourne

I have almost 15 years’ experience in international freight and logistics and love being able to pass on my passion and knowledge.

I stepped into the industry when I was 19 years old, completing my traineeship in international freight forwarding in Bremen, Germany. I was later awarded a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration, specialising in Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

I am proud to be part of the My Freight Career team, helping young people get into the industry and build successful lifelong careers. Seeing them succeed and grow gives me a lot of joy and satisfaction and keeps me coming to work each day! Outside of work I like to be outdoors with my dogs, visit art galleries and perform with my dance troupe!

Andrea Hunter

Recruitment Consultant

Growing up in a “shipping family” and with many years’ of experience in almost every aspect of shipping and forwarding, a career progression to recruitment was an obvious next step and one I enjoy equally.

My working life began in the shipping industry and continued with one or two diversions, owning a scuba diving franchise and working in aged care, but I have always been drawn back to the fast-paced commercial environment which is something upon which I thrive and is an excellent reward for what has been a long and satisfying association.

Working with excited candidates pursuing and achieving their career goals thanks to FRM Staff is, very fulfilling.
Interacting with a wide range of people daily from exporters, freight forwarders helping them find their ideal role in the logistics industry is a natural fit and immensely enjoyable.

I am in my element at the beach, distance swimming, boating, travelling, following the sun, and spending time with friends and family.

Thuy Truong

Recruitment Support Consultant

I commenced my Human Resources career whilst completing a Bachelor of Psychology. As a Human Resources professional, I was involved in administration, handling end-to-end recruitment, managing employee relations, coordinating corporate events and inductions and office management.

Prior to joining FRMSTAFF I discovered the logistics industry through my employment with DSV within the contract logistics division. In this position, my responsibilities included being the point-of-contact for Human Resources enquiries as well as supporting warehouse safety and compliance teams. I was mentored by an industry leader, who specialised in operations and safety, and this exposed me how incredible the logistics and transport industry can be.

During my journey I found my interest always gravitated towards recruitment, which has now led me to my current role at FRMSTAFF as a Recruitment Support Consultant. I am excited to continue recruiting and speaking to wonderful candidates and clients in the freight forwarding industry!

For fun on the weekends, my partner and I love to drive to coastal towns to enjoy a day at the beach or drive to a country town to continue our search for the best pie!
